The Box & Components:
Mountain Goats is a ‘party in a box’ kind of game. The game has amazing visuals and the components have an unquestionable quality. The cards which make up the playing board are sturdy and make a big game spread which is unexpected from the small box. The goat animeeples are light and look utterly cute.
Gameplay of Mountain Goats
In Mountain Goats you work to move your goats to the top of 6 different mountains where they can score points as long as they stay there. You can share spaces with other goats on the way up, but there is only room for one goat at the top of each mountain. If someone else’s goat moves to the mountain top, they will kick you off and you’ll have to start your trek over.
It’s a game about timing. You need to not just get to the top of the mountain but get there when no one else is in position to knock you off.
It’s a game about keeping your eye on your opponents. Maximizing your score, but also making sure you don’t let anyone else score too much.
There is the fun chance to knock each other off the mountain. But it doesn’t feel too mean because you can only knock back goats that are in a scoring position, and it isn’t a huge setback. It is just a normal part of the cycle of the game.
Love The Game:
Mountain Goats is very easy to learn. The dice rolling mechanism and the multiple goats that the players have to keep track of becomes simpler as the players play the game. The setup may take 5 minutes but the fun is absolutely worth it. The game proceeds in rounds where everyone gets the chance to be at the top and collect points for it. The player may also employ different strategies like different set collections or bonus points tokens according to the flow of the game.
Mountain Goats comes in a compact box. It is a highly entertaining game and the graphics and components make it a great gifting option. The game can be enjoyed by people of different ages playing together which also qualifies for a family quality time game.
